In their absence, things have changed: Daisy has lost her place at the top of the social pecking order to a captivating new girl, and several of the Detective Society's old friends have become distinctly unfriendly. When the pair witness a disturbing incident in the woods near the school, they are certain it is connected to the celebrations, and their detective instincts kick straight into gear. As parents, alumnae and dignitaries descend on Deepdean, long-buried grudges, rivalries and secrets begin to surface, and the school's very future is at stake. Robin Stevens balances light school-story charm with a genuinely tense mystery, giving readers plenty of clues to follow alongside Hazel's meticulous case notes. The dynamic between bold Daisy and observant Hazel remains the heart of the book, tested in new ways as old loyalties resurface. It's a witty, cleverly plotted entry that keeps the series' winning formula fresh, delivering surprises right up to the final reveal as the girls race to protect the school they love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe eighth book in Robin Stevens' award-winning, number-one bestselling Murder Most Unladylike series.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA cleverly plotted whodunnit that builds problem-solving skills and encourages close reading.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong, relatable female leads who model courage, loyalty and independent thinking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn immersive 1930s boarding-school setting that brings gentle historical context to the story.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for confident readers aged 9 to 12 who enjoy Agatha Christie-style mysteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA brilliant gift for young mystery fans, whether new to the series or continuing their collection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRobin Stevens was born in California and grew up in Oxford, England.
